Can we get a yes to all button or something, this message is useless and drives me crazy.

I think that if the site that you are scraping from is uncontactable then you should get a message that says so, and for everything else that you get this message from you should be able to ignore it, or it should be a more detailed message explaining or at least hinting at what it does not like.

Almost every time I scrape I get this error.


FYI: Scraper is fine, site is up & no network issues.

If you look in your log file you should be able to see exactly why you're getting that message. IME, the message is not useless, and indicates a problem somewhere. Lately, if you're getting that while scraping from TVDB, then there actually is a problem. TVDB has just gone through a server hosting move, and hasn't been 100% reliable these past few days.

I do agree with you on that. One message is good enough for each scraper.

Thats the only bit that is really annoying, I can deal with false positives on my system, but on days where you decide to re-scrape everything it drives you insane to hit that button every time.

Make a text file called advancedsettings.xml (wiki) and place it in your userdata folder (wiki) with the following content:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
     <videoscanner>
          <ignoreerrors>true</ignoreerrors> <!-- Set to true to silently ignore errors while scanning videos. This prevents the error dialogue box, so you don't have to keep hitting "yes" to keep scanning.-->
     </videoscanner>
</advancedsettings>

and do please donate to the scraper websites. They are non-profit organizations and run everything off of donations.

I would take the servers offline just to bug such users who make such demands and piss them off Big Grin
